I too lost a baby to CDH related issues, and he also had Trisomy 13--prenatally diagnosed halfway through my pregnancy. The month of March is CDH Awareness month. I&#39;ll be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I have been praying for all of you and am so sorry to hear of his passing. But know that he is walking with the Lord and is an angel now. Through your blog, I have read the amazing courage and strength both you and your husband have had and I too believe he is up above and in peace now. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers and God Bless all of you in this time of need!<br />-Crystal S.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624934523504823870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596626323542778066.post-56461449041459680192011-03-08T11:45:41.460-08:002011-03-08T11:45:41.460-08:00Mere and Brad, I am so sorry for your loss.

That courage and strength will get you guys through anything.

The loss of a child is one of the hardest things to think about, let alone endure. You and Brad, and your little Angel Dougie have been in my prayers and thoughts. I pray that God gives you the strength you need to get through this difficult time and that you guys can find comfort in the Lord knowing that Dougie has served his purpose of toucing your lives, and bringing awareness to CDH, and that you will continue to fight the fight of helping find a cure in his honor. The outpouring of support that I have seen is tremendous and there are people near and far whose lives have been touched by Dougie&#39;s journey. I feel honored to say that Dougie has taught me a thing or two about strength and purpose here on earth. May Dougie walk with the Angels of God, and may you and your family find comfort in knowing what an amazing Angel you have watching over you. I will be there tomorrow to join in the celebration of Dougie&#39;s life and to support you and your family..<br /><br />Kristin Phemister - Maynes60f2d930-49b8-11e0-b0d1-000bcdca4d7ahttps://openid.aol.com/opaque/60f2d930-49b8-11e0-b0d1-000bcdca4d7anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596626323542778066.post-88704161994795530952011-03-08T07:42:08.211-08:002011-03-08T07:42:08.211-08:00Mere, Like you, I was totally unprepared for Dougi...Mere, Like you, I was totally unprepared for Dougies passing. I was sure with your incredible attitude, the excellent doctors, etc that you would be bringing Dougie home. I can&#39;t imagine the loss you are feeling but hope your faith and knowing that Dougie is in a much better place and no longer struggling helps at least a little. One additional thing that came out of this journey for me was having the chance to get to know you and Brad and being able to follow Dougies Journey, as difficult as the outcome was. I will continue to keep you, Brad and your families in my prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.<br />I will always have a picture in my head of your Little Man watching us from up above while he&#39;s doing what babies are meant to do.<br />Love all of you.Auntie Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123806124424008719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596626323542778066.post-47431408386259994092011-03-07T22:50:24.487-08:002011-03-07T22:50:24.487-08:00I&#39;ve been following your blog.
